Byzantine Site

Intrigued by the comment, "Too many icons? That’s like saying that there is too much grace in a Church," on another blog, I clicked on a link associated with its author, Steven Todd Kaster, and discovered this fine website by a Catholic of the Byzantine Rite. There's a lot of concisely expressed, well thought out material there of special interest to anyone concerned to build bridges between the Christian East and West.

About Me

I was received into the Catholic Church in 1984 at the age of 30. May these reflections twenty-one years later express my continuing gratitude for the inestimable gifts I have received at her hands.
I hope to offer here a little edification and an occasional chuckle to others who aim (and, if they're like me, all too often miss the mark) to live faithful Catholic Christian lives. I am not here to teach the Pope how to be Catholic, or to point out possible peccadillos of the Bishop of Punxatawney to people in Peoria. You will not find here a wide-ranging discussion of politics which assumes that fidelity to the magisterium requires unwavering support of every position favored by one political party or another, nor will you find a focus on scandal.
If you are interested in the possibility of living a Catholic life, and find it almost impossible in this modern world, I hope that you find here a place of rest and refreshment.
